January Meeting we started with a fun Potluck luncheon. I can't think of a better way to start the new year but with yummy food by some of the best cooks in the valley and good friends. At our meeting we shared items with snowflakes and more and introduced the upcoming projects for the new year.
Genette King had the Otto light and shared with us some of her amazing creations and accomplishments she was able to finish for the January meeting.
Mary Jo Hansen gave us a lesson in hand embroidery work. Presenting us each with a lovely pattern to try our new techniques she had taught us out.
Sewing
Tips from January’s Meeting:
v If your bobbin tail often comes unwound
and becomes tangled, purchase a bag of ponytail elastics. They’re tiny
extremely stretchy knit so they snug up against all your bobbins. Choose a band
that most closely matches the thread color, which helps when searching for a
particular bobbin color.
v If you can’t remember what size needle
you have in your sewing machine. Use a small office supply clip and attach it
to your needle holder, change the clip when you change your needle.
v What do you do with all your used
bottles? Use baby bottles or any size bottle to store your buttons in. Paint
the lid the color of your buttons. Make a yoyo and glue on top with the button in
the middle to match the color of your buttons.
Denise Thalman gave us one of her trunk shows! To start off our show and tell.
